I think Archie's sister (Ace) reflects Jesus' teachings because Jesus always told us "Love one another as I have loved you." She really shows that because she loves her brother, no matter what. I think Jesus would be very proud of her.

I can make a connection because one of my cousins has down syndrome. Her name is Laura.

I am not embarred to say that I have a cousin with down syndrome. I am not ashamed. It really bugs me when everyone else looks at her weird or treats her differently. My cousin has down syndrome, and I'm proud of it.

Archie’s sister, Ace reflected Jesus’ teachings because she loved Archie even though he is different. That is just like Jesus because he loved everyone even if they had a disease, had sinned or did some bad things in their life. Ace isn’t embarrassed that Archie has a disability, she seems very proud and happy to have a brother. Ace sees through her brother’s appearance and his condition, she see to his heart and to what’s inside of him. Like Ace said, "He's perfect the way God made hime."
I can sort of relate to this because I have a friend whose little sister has autism and I know that she loves her sister a lot. She too doesn’t focus on the disability and she doesn’t seem to be embarrassed by her sister. My friend and Ace are sort of the same.

First of all, Ace reflects Jesus' teachings because Jesus taught us about love, and don't judge people about their looks of disabilities, to treat everyone equal, and don't treat them a certain way because of who they are. Ace treats her brother (Archie)like there's nothing wrong with him. She loves him no matter what he looks like or any other disabilities. She stands up for him,and loves him with all her heart. This reminds me about a book our class is reading. The book is called "Wonder" and it's about a boy whose name is August and looks "different" and lots of people in his school treat him a bit different because of how he
looks. One person named Julian treats him very bad and makes mean
jokes about him behind the teachers back. In all, nobody should be treated differently because of looks or any disabilities.

Ace is reflecting Jesus' teachings because she isn't making fun of Archie and she doesn't feel embarrassed and i think that's how every body should feel if they had brothers/sisters with down syndrome.
this reminds me of when Kristofer doesn't listen (and by the way he does not have down syndrome)and when i wanted to talk with him he would not listen or sometimes hit me!

I think that Ace reflects Jesus' teachings because she still loves Archie even though he is different but then he's not even all that different we just treat him like that because he looks different. Ace also reflects Jesus' by thinking that we should treat everyone the same.

Archie’s sister, Ace, reflects on Jesus’ teachings (“love others as you love yourself”) by telling us that it doesn’t matter if a family member or a friend has down syndrome, and that we should care for them anyway. I don’t know anyone who has down syndrome, but if I did, I would be friends with them because having down syndrome is probably really hard, and it won’t be easier if they don’t have any friends. The important part is that others think that, if you have down syndrome, you are very different from other people, but the people with down syndrome aren’t very different from us, and people should be treated the same, no matter how different they are. Everyone deserves to be treated well, and people with down syndrome shouldn’t be any different, and someone should always be loved, and protected, even if they have down syndrome.

I think Ace reflects Jesus' teachings by telling that she doesn't care that Archie has Down Syndrome. She loves Archie just the way he is and she doesn't want to change the way Archie is. She stands up for him. She wants everyone to "treat others the way you want to be treated." Everyone should be treated equally because they are not as different as you are. "Everyone is perfect the way good made them." Jesus is probably very proud of her.

A connection between Ace and Archie with me and a friend named Alisha. She had hearing problems and had these little hearing things in her ears. Also a lot of people thought she was ugly and made fun of her. I didn't care that she had hearing problems and she was beautiful to me. We became best friends with a lot of other girls who were kind and nice like me. Everyone is created equally and everyone should treat others the way they want to be treated.

Archie’s sister, Ace reflects Jesus’s teachings because she is kind, she said to treat each other the same even if they are different and Jesus told us to treat everyone the same, no matter how different they are from you.
Even though Archie has down syndrome and some brothers or sisters might feel ashamed that their brothers or sisters have down syndrome, Ace is not ashamed of having Archie, who has down syndrome as a brother. She still loves her brother, like Jesus would have loved anyone. Jesus cured ten lepers that no one would even come near, Jesus went near them, and cured them. So everyone should love one another no matter how different they are.

It relates to me when someone I know has an illness or is born with something different and they act differently, so I sort of know what is it like. I feel very sad when I see a person with an illness, but I still treat them the same as usual, I don’t avoid them or anything.

Archie's sister reflects Jesus's teaching because she really doesn't care how Archie has down syndrome, she just thinks that he is perfect the way he is. I think that her statement "He's perfect the way God made him." is very true because it is not just what we are like on the outside, it's what is on the inside that counts. Right off the top of my head, I can not think of any connections that I really have to myself. However, it does remind me a bit of "Wonder" because Auggie has all sorts of facial deformities and everybody is always staring at him, but his sister Via stands up for him and does not think that there is anything wrong with him.

Ace (Archie's sister) reflects Jesus' teachings by loving her brother no matter how different he acts or looks, the main thing Jesus taught us is to love one another and that's exactly what she's doing and telling everyone else to do too.

I can sort of connect to this. First off this kind of reminds me of Wonder because August (Auggie) looks kind of different from everyone else. Most people just look at him strange and be rude to him and whisper about him but, a by named Jack-Will and a girl named Summer have been very nice to him, much like Ace to her brother. Secondly I relate to this because when I was at my old school and I was in grade one there was this grade eight girl who had some sort of disability (not sure what it was called I was only in grade one) and she always seemed to follow me everywhere so sometimes I played with her, until next year when she graduated.

In the video I think archie’s sister, Ace reflects on Jesus’ teachings because no one is perfect, but she is still glad that Archie is her brother even know he has down syndrome. She says“ I would not change anything about Archie, even know that he has down syndrome”. that means that she does not care that he is different and likes his brother the way he is this is like Jesus still accepting people that are deaf,blind,paralyzed, or sinners.


if they have down syndrome,you should treat them the same as any other person. For the people that do have someone in there family that has down syndrome they should not be ashamed But i can not stand when A) people make comments like “ I am sure glad I am not his sister!” or “wow i would hate to be him” because that bugs me. B) I don’t like the people that are in someones family that has down syndrome and are all mean to them about it.
